Nature's Danger Alert! When caribou meets politician.
Dec 09, 2009
I recently read Ontario's Woodland Caribou Conservation Plan. The plan acknowledges the negative impact that human development in my species' habitat has on our well being and that 40-50% of my Ontario boreal woodland caribou friends and family have disappeared.
The plan sets out the Provincial Government's intentions for woodland caribou conservation. They intend to do more studies and then take action. At this stage of the game, intentions are not enough. The Government needs to take action NOW to stop the decline of Ontario's woodland caribou. An immediate halt on the logging and road building that is pushing my Ontario cousins to extinction needs to be put in place while the Government undertakes further studies.
Please show your support for immediate action to save Ontario's woodland caribou by going to http://www.caribouandyou.ca/on and sending a letter to the Ontario Goverment.
My species thanks you :)
